With a quarter of the season behind us, the 2025 MLB campaign is in full swing.
It's too early on to see who the true contenders for the World Series as well as end-of-season awards are, but at this juncture we can crown Nike as true innovators of the on-field jersey movement in the 21st century.
The latest proof? The hotly anticipated Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, which drops today, brings fresh energy to the intersection of baseball culture and streetwear.
Each sneaker in the collection taps into MLB's increasingly popular City Connect program, translating team-specific jersey aesthetics into footwear form. The Air Max 270's oversized Air unit and breathable uppers make the perfect canvas for these vibrant, city-inspired color stories.
The $160 collection becomes available via the Nike SNKRS app and select MLB team retailers starting at 10 AM local time today. Nike confirms this will be the only major MLB footwear drop before the All-Star break in July.
While baseball purists debate whether the City Connect jerseys distract from tradition, there's no denying Nike's cultural impact on the sport's fashion landscape. These Air Max 270s continue that legacy, perfect either for wearing to the ballpark or styling around town.
